These tapered leaders have been designed for use in long-range carp fishing where heavy leads or feeders are coupled with both normal or light line reel lines to achieve the distances often required on big waters.
The use of a leader will enable you to exert maximum power during the cast without risking a 'crack-off' because the leader will absorb the shock. Fox - 'Soft Steel Tapered Leaders' are 12 metres in length and feature a parallel section of the tip diameter which then gradually increases in diameter to form the taper up to the butt diameter. It is mainly due to this gradual tapering that casting resistance is are maximised ensuring that valuable metres are not lost. During development, we choose the tip diameters to match the most popular sizes of Soft Steel, however these leaders are totally suitable with reel lines as low as 6lb/8lb, ideally to the 12lb/35lb or 8lb/10lb to the 15lb/45lb. Attach the tip (thin end) of the leader to your main line using a shock leader knot (full instruction included), and, the resulting knot will be very neat and will pass through your rod rings with minimum resistance. There are two leaders to choose from: 15lb to 45lb (0.39 to 0.64mm) and 12lb to 35lb (0.34 to 0.50mm). Another valuable benefit that our tapered leaders bring is when fishing near to weed or snags as the thicker end of the leader will provide the extra abrasion resistance associated with Soft Steel!
Finally, when playing fish, you will appreciate the fact that the leaders have been designed with just the correct amount of stretch to absorb the sudden lunges that can cause a connection between a traditional leader made from ordinary, thick mono and reel line of a much lower diameter to part........with the thinner end of the leader safely on your reel, only that line outside the reel spool will be subject to the stress created by launching your rig or playing your fish at close quarters!
Available in two sizes; 12lb-35lb and 15lb-45lb. 01/08 JJ
